We just received a re-stock shipment of our 3-Dimensional Glow-in-the-Dark Solar System Mobile Making Kit, and it’s official in toyland: Pluto has been given the boot. The kit now contains only the Sun and eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, for those of you who dozed through science class.)

Poor Pluto. I feel kind of sorry for it, being dropped like that. Still, who knows — maybe it will stage a comeback one of these days.
